Russian brands in the UAE market in 2024-2025

More than 75 Russian brands are currently operating successfully in the United Arab Emirates, and this number is constantly growing. It is known that 19 Russian retailers entered the market last year, demonstrating the confident and rapid growth of Russia's presence. This success is due to a number of factors, including a favorable investment climate, developed infrastructure, and a strategic geographical location that allows access to the vast market of the Middle East and North Africa.
The success of Russian brands in Dubai is no accident. It is the result of a carefully thought-out strategy adapted to the specifics of the local market. Many companies have successfully integrated into the local culture, offering products and services that take into account the preferences of UAE consumers.

Some notable examples of successful expansion include brands such as:

  • Gold Apple and Letoile - popular chains of cosmetics and perfume stores have successfully won the hearts of Dubai shoppers by offering a wide range of high-quality products at competitive prices. Their success demonstrates the high purchasing power and interest in high-quality Russian beauty products.
  • Frank by Basta and Dodo Pizza - representatives of the restaurant business. They have proven that Russian cuisine and catering concepts can be in demand at the international level. Their popularity testifies to the ability of Russian brands to adapt to new markets and offer unique products.
  • Kaspersky Lab and 1C are IT companies that confirm the successful promotion of Russian technologies at the global level. Their presence in Dubai strengthens Russia's position in the field of information technology.
It is evident that Russia's presence in Dubai is particularly noticeable in the catering sector. The planned launch of the Coffee Mania coffee shop chain this year and the opening of the Birch gastropub in early February 2024 only confirm this trend. The variety of concepts, from coffee shops to gourmet restaurants, demonstrates the desire of Russian entrepreneurs to offer a wide choice to local consumers.

At the same time, Dubai's shopping centers are particularly looking forward to the arrival of Russian representatives of the fashion and style industry. This segment is still underrepresented by Russian brands, and there is enormous potential for growth and development here. Successful penetration of the fashion market will require Russian companies to offer not only high-quality products, but also competent marketing that takes into account the specifics of the local market and competition from international brands.
Russian businesses are showing impressive results in Dubai. The success of existing brands and plans for the future indicate great potential for further expansion of Russia's presence in the UAE. However, to maintain and strengthen this trend, it is necessary to continue investing in adaptation to the local market, marketing, and the development of new, competitive products and services. The future of Russian-Emirati economic cooperation looks promising.
